Airports company south africa (acsa) is inviting proposals to establish a panel of service providers for electrical engineering maintenance (mv and lv) across nine south african airports for a five-year period. The panel will cover multiple sub-disciplines including airfield ground lighting, fire detection, diesel generators, lighting systems, lv equipment, mv networks, UPS, and x-ray machines. Bidders must have appropriate CIDB grading (ep or eb) and will be evaluated on functionality, price, and b-bbee preference points.
Key Requirements
Bidders must achieve a minimum functionality threshold of 60 points; failure results in disqualification from further evaluation. CIDB registration with EP or EB grading is mandatory for all disciplines; proof of registration must be submitted with the bid. Both physical and electronic submissions are mandatory - physical documents must be hand-delivered to Tender Box B at O.R. Tambo International Airport before 12:00 PM on 27 July 2026, and an electronic copy emailed to [email protected]. Bidders must be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) with National Treasury and have tax matters in order with SARS to be eligible for award. The 80/20 preference point system applies, with up to 20 points for B-BBEE status level and specific goals (black youth, black women, or disability-owned entities). Being appointed to the panel does not guarantee work - service providers will be engaged on a rotational, as-and-when-needed basis for both maintenance and capital projects. Proof of attendance at a compulsory briefing session (attendance register) is required for bid validity.
